Population-based Carrier Screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Saudi Arabia

2021-12-27

Abstract excerpt

Spinal Muscular Dystrophy (SMA) is one of the leading causes of death in children from heritable diseases. It is reported that the incidence of SMA is higher in the Saudi population. 4198 healthy volunteers between 18 to 25 years old were included in this study of which (54.7% males vs 45.3% females). Whole blood was spotted from finger pricks onto IsoCode StixTM and genomic DNA was isolated using one triangle fro...
